Wil Can Fly – Calendars

We are excited to announce that October is Down Syndrome awareness month and the official start of WilCanFly.com – the website where we are selling the 2016 Wil Can Fly calendar. Yesterday I approved the final proof and we are now officially printing our first run of 2016 Wil Can Fly calendars!

I was a little emotional in the parking lot of the print house as I thought back to March of this year when I told my wife that I wanted to create a calendar with the photos of Wil flying to help raise awareness. We weren’t sure if anyone would be interested in buying them and there were a few times that I told myself it wasn’t going to work. With the help of some good friends and my amazing wife we have now reached people all across the world and plan on sharing the message for many more years to come.

You all had a part in making this happen and we thank you once again!

As you know, half of the proceeds from the sale of these calendars will go to two incredible Down Syndrome foundations:

We are excited to see how much money we can raise this month for these foundations so please share the WilCanFly.com link on social.

In celebration of this special month we have complied some of the most recent photos of Wil flying at home and across the country. We hope everyone will continue to remember that those with special needs can do anything they put their minds to, they can fly.

These are beautiful. My eyes are welling with happiness. I have worked with Downs people of all ages, and they are rhe kindest, gentlest, most loving humans you’ll ever know. My husband and I recently met a man, a surgeon, who moved with his family to the USA because his 7 year-old daughter is Downs, and he said while she would receive wonderful medical care in Egypt, he wanted her in a country where she would feel accepted and valued. The family considered America and Europe, and said the USA was by far the best place. He said when his wife found out that there was a waiting list to adopt Downs children in the US, she wept and said that was the place to be. He told us that his daughter is his princess and his blessing. Your son is obviously as great a blessing to you as you are to him. All the best of everything to you and yours.

These are just great! Thanks for sharing your talent and a piece of your heart. The pictures made me laugh and sniffle with joy all at the same time. Our “Wil” is a beautiful daughter, who is 17 1/2 and going on 30! What an amazing journey we have been on and continue to experience and you have only just begun!

Dear sir, I have seen your calender and I just love it so much!! Looking at the photographs it made me feel so happy! Where can I buy it? Please let me know something.
Thank you,
Kind regards,
Marjolein Mattheij
